VC Rocks! Blog Hop - ABC - Anything But a Card

This VC Rocks! Blog Hop is about Anything but a Card, ABC. This week in class we made a purse to hold cards. I have seen several purses out there to buy, but I always try to find free. This purse template I found on Bridget Louw's website, but it was only large enough to hold 3x3 cards. I wanted a purse that would hold A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) cards. So after fussing around for several hours I can up with this:

Paisley Petals Purse

This purse can hold eight A2 cards. I used glimmer paper for the buckles on the purse. Love it! I know that this is ABC, but I had to show you the cards we made to go into the purse, thanks to Margaret Moody for her inspiration for these.

Purse with Card

I made a second purse with the class and I love this one even more:

I have been wanting to make one of the following projects for over a year and this hop gave me the opportunity to finally make one. The instructions for the tissue box cover can be found here: Split Coast Stampers-Tissue Box Cover and a big thank you to Cindy for suggesting that I use my new Sunflower Background Stamp(just came in tonight's UPS box) to decorate it with.

I received my first box of goodies tonight from the new Idea Book and Catalog. I fell in love with the new Beau Chateau DSP and here is a sneak look at the Side Notes that you can buy to go along with the DSP. There are two of each die-cuts included and it is on beautiful watercolor paper. I can't wait to make an album from this paper. So here they are:

Won't they be so cool on a scrapbook page or on a card front? I have added at the top right column a button to get emails when I post new blog pages, sign up if you would like to follow me. Now on to the next blog. Have a great day!

The talented stampers and scrappers of VC Rocks have tackled the theme of Anything But a Card. So grab your favorite beverage and a snack and enjoy our hop. The hop officially kicks off at 10AM Eastern/9AM Central, 8AM Mountain, 7AM Pacific on Saturday and will run through the weekend.
